Police: Pot grower posted videos online





STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• The grower posted YouTube videos under name Buddynuggets78
• The vidoes provided weekly updates on the crop
• Authorities confiscated dozens of plants

(CNN) -- The old adage is: Advertising is good for business.
Here's another newer adage. Bragging about an illegal marijuana operation and posting it on YouTube for the whole world to see is, well, maybe not the best idea.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police busted Jason Pelletier and his wife Stephanie on Friday after being tipped off to YouTube videos under the name Buddynuggets78, chronicling weekly updates of their pot crop.
"In my opinion, the most arrogant of all of them I've seen," Lt. Laz Chavez with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police told CNN affiliate KLAS.

In his videos, Buddynuggets78 goes into great detail describing his operation, the light setup and the number of plants.
"Just doing another weekly update to show the progress at this point," says a YouTube post.
Chavez called Jason Pelletier "a hardened criminal with a very serious criminal history" that includes guns and drugs.

He could have moved just a little west to have a legal home garden. Under state law, anyway. Growing in Nevada will be legal at some point, but for now it's stupid to advertise that you're growing there.

Going to prison for weed in the US seems so futile now. Like being one of the soldiers who died in Vietnam near the end of the war. The laws will change here soon. On both the state and federal levels.
